The Best Foods to Eat While You're High
There’s nothing quite like the experience of being high and feeling the sudden, overwhelming desire to eat—better known as “the munchies.” Whether you’re looking to indulge in something sweet, salty, crunchy, or a bit healthier, finding the perfect food to munch on can elevate your experience to a whole new level.
We believe that the perfect snack for while you’re high need to hit the following criteria:
It must be…
1. Tasty, duh! No one wants a disappointing snack
2. Easy to get to. If you have to do more than walk to your kitchen or order on your phone, it’s not worth it
3. Simple to prepare. If you need to spend more than 30 minutes actively preparing it, you might want to choose another snack.
And finally, the most important piece of criteria. Your snack should be…
4. Whatever hits the spot. Regardless of everything else, whenever you ultimately have, it should satisfy your cravings.
One other recommendation that we have is to stock up beforehand. That way you don’t have to venture out once you’re feeling good!
Now that we have that covered, here are some of our favorite snacks to munch on while high
Pizza
We can’t make a list of the best foods to eat while high, without including this iconic staple. Pizza has long been used by the stoners to satisfy those munchie cravings and with good reason.
Frozen pizzas are some of the easiest at home meals to prepare and are usually done relatively quickly. If you’re in the mood for hot and fresh, pizza is probably also going to be the easiest food to get delivered right to your door.
Don’t even get us started on the versatility and all of the flavor options, with most places having an almost endless list of toppings, there’s going to be something there for everyone. Plus it’s great hot or cold.
Chips and Dip
This is a super easy, super tasty snack that you probably have sitting in your pantry right now. There is no preparation required except for opening up a bag and unscrewing a lid.
There’s just something about that crunchy savory taste that just hits the spot when those munchies hit you. There is a lot of variety to choose from in both your chips and your dip, meaning that it never gets old, you’ll be able to find something that everyone likes. There are even a number of healthy options, if that’s something that you’re looking for.
They are also the perfect shareable snack for you to munch on while you chill out with your homies.
Ice Cream
Switching directions and moving into something sweet, ice cream can be a really great option to help you cool down while you’re turning up the heat. The coolness and the sweet flavor can be a really great contrast to the dry sensation you can often feel when you’re smoking.
You have options that range from the simple like vanilla and chocolate or something more rich like brownie batter or salted caramel swirl, so you’re sure to find something to satisfy those cravings.
Many people already have ice cream in their freezer, but just in case you don’t, you can usually find it super easily at any convenience or corner store.
If you’re really feeling like you want something more, it’ll take no time at all to turn your ice cream into a sundae! You can use the traditional toppings like sprinkles or chocolate syrup or if you’re out of those, you can get creative. Pretzels, cereal and candy are all things that you might find in your pantry that will take your ice cream to the next level.
Cereal
Who said that cereal was only for breakfast? We happen to think it’s the perfect simple food to snack on during your sesh. It’s so easy to prepare, all you need is your favorite cereal and some milk (or you can eat it dry, we don’t judge) and you’re good to go.
It’s something that you likely already have in your pantry and the crunchy sweetness of it will give you a nice satisfying snack.
If we could give one more recommendation to take your cereal game to the next level, try mixing different types of cereal together. It’ll give you a new flavor and texture combination that’ll keep things interesting, for sure.
Fresh Fruit
Ok, so hear us out with this one. Fresh fruit might not be the typical snack you reach for when those munchies hit but there are a couple of reasons that you might want to give it a try next time.
The natural sugar in fruits are great for satisfying that sweet tooth without making you feel overly full or sluggish, like artificial sugars can. Fruit also has a much higher water content than many other snacks making it perfect to combat that dehydration and dry mouth you can feel after smoking.
You can also add on to your fruit. Things like chocolate, cool whip, whipped cream, and more, can take your fruit from lightweight to decadent.
It’s also a healthier option, so if that’s something that important to you, then you might want to add some fruit into you next snack rotation
Mac and Cheese
Mac and Cheese is another staple and with good reason. It’s basic, it’s easy to prepare and it’s super rich and tasty, exactly what you’re looking for in a snack while you’re high.
The creamy, gooey texture and rich, cheesy flavor are incredibly satisfying, especially when the munchies hit and it’s inexpensive and easy to find. In fact, I bet most people have a box in their cabinets right now
This does require a little more involvement in the preparation but we definitely think it’s worth it. You can even add a little extra seasoning or some extra toppings like bacon to really push it over the edge.
Ultimately the best snack to have when you’re high is whatever’s going to satisfy that craving and if you’ve been at this awhile, you probably have a list of tried and true options. However, we hope that maybe we gave you some new ideas or reminded you of old favorites.
